Tuesday. Worst day of the week in my opinion. Everyone hates Mondays but not me. Monday is the start of the week, I'm refreshed. But by Tuesday, im already bored with the week and yet still have 4 days until I can rest.

Nanny Julie woke me up for my tutoring. The whole day was boring but good news was I didn't see my mother at all. The last lesson of the day was French. The tutor was talking to me but all I could do was watch the clock. 5 more minutes and it would be over. That meant daddy would pick me up and i would go round his for tea. He was coming at 3. I heard a knock on the door and one of the maids opened it.

"Daddy" I squealed happily as I ran into his arms. He picked me up and spun me around, careful of my arm

"There's my favourite little girl" he said smothering my face with kisses making me giggle

"Nous avons encore cinq minutes Lady Lydia" I heard my tutor yell. He was a man in his 50s
We still have 5 more minutes Lady Lydia

"S'il vous plaît, pouvons-nous terminer tôt, monsieur Kadri?" I asked
Please can we finish early Mr Kadri

He huffed but collected his things to leave signalling he would allow it. Still in daddy's arms, i turned to face him to see his face in shock

"You speak French?" He asked

"Oui papa" I answered smiling. He kissed my cheek and then put me on my feet. The maid helped me put my coat on and I grasped daddy's hand. As we were about to step out the door, my mother came over and knelt infront of me

"Be good. Do as you're told. Don't speak unless spoken to. You're a little girl not a grown man. Start acting like it" I heard my father grit his teeth. He yanked me away from her and we walked to the car, our mother watching us with burning eyes. Daddy helped me into the car and then got in the front seat

"Ignore your mother. You're a little girl which means having fun and enjoying your childhood" he said looking back at me. I smiled at him as we continued the drive to his house. When we got into the drive, he stopped but didn't get out

"Listen darling, there's someone in there I'd like you to meet. He name is aunt polly and she is very important to me. Will you meet her for me?" He asked

"Yeah" I yelled excitedly. He laughed and got me out of the car. I was placed on his hip as we walked into his large house. We were greeted by a woman I recognised who I'm assuming is aunt polly

"Hello sweetheart. I'm aunt pol. You met me Sunday night when you hurt your wrist. Didn't have chance to introduce myself" she said with a kind smile

"Hi" I greeted.

"Tea will be a couple of hours. What do you want to do until then?" Daddy asked me

"Can me make cookies? Pleeeeaaassse" I begged kissing his cheek

"Course we can love. Although aunt pol will have to help. Don't want a fire" he said making me laugh. Aunt polly agreed and we made our way to the kitchen. Some cooks were making tea in there but it was a very big kitchen so we had plenty of room to bake. We got all the ingredients and started putting everything in the bowl

I cracked and egg into the bowl and turned to look at lyd. She was covered in flour and laughing loudly

"How? Just...just how?" I said looking at my daughter. Instead of answering, she threw flour at my face and burst into fits of giggles again. Aunt polly was laughing with her as they high fixed. I chuckled and threw flour at aunt pol making her raise an eyebrow at me. I began to get scared realising my mistake

"You shouldn'tve done that" she said.

"Oh no" I heard Lydia say laughing at me. Aunt pol threw flour all over my head so my hair was now grey

We finally finished the cookies and ate them all.

"Let's get cleaned up then. Tea will be about 50 minutes aunt pol said after speaking to the kitchen staff. I lifted lydia up onto my back and carried her upstairs. Aunt pol followed

"Come on love. I think you are in need for a bath" she said as she went to run the water. As she was running it, I quickly had a shower. I put rose in the bath when I was dressed and polly went to have her own bath.

"Am I sleeping here tonight daddy?" She asked as I rinsed her hair

"No honey. Just having tea and then I have to drive you back home" I told her

"But I wanna stay with you. Please. I'll be good I promise" she said her lip quivering. I kissed her cheek and said

"Don't be daft. You're always good. If it was down to me then you would stay here forever but its not. Your mother would never let me" she nodded sadly so I lifted her chin up to look at me

"I'll see you on Friday night though. And then you can sleep over. And on Saturday, would you like to go the garrison again with everyone? They would like to see you again now they know you're family" i told her

"Ye. It was really fun last time if not for my mother" she said. I felt bad for the poor girl having a mother like that. I lifted her from the bath and wrapped a towel around her.

"I brought you some clothes when we decorated your room. Do you wanna see?" I asked her. She nodded her head. I went and got her a dress and put it on her before taking her to her room. We met polly in the hall.

"Just through here" I said. We walked in and I saw her little jaw drop with joy

"This is amazing" she yelled happily
